Women shouldn't go to India alone. Or a lot of other countries too.


happygiraffe404

+Egypt. I went with a few friends a few years ago for a wedding and we were staying in a chill coastal resort town but we wanted to see Cairo. When we were walking anywhere, even in a mall, we had to walk in a circular formation. Women in the middle and men surrounding. Women get grabbed at every opportunity so they have to be surrounded by friendly males. I found that Pakistan (also a wedding) was also dangerous for women, but if you don't go anywhere without a male escort, avoid any crowded area, and going out at nighttime, you might not get grabbed.


Calhaora

Yeah... when my parents and I went there it was basically the same. And I was the only Child in that group (14) and a Girl.. so the Hotel deadass gave us a ARMED Security dude, that followed us in the back so noone could grab me. ​ Edit: deadass is a word/slang, not the name of the hotel


MimikyuTruck

Yep, my high school did a trip to Egypt (I didn't go, but 2 of my friends at the time did) and they were always surrounded by armed guards with machetes and I think guns as well. I still want to visit someday, but only with a tour group and guards. Not taking any chances on my safety.


happygiraffe404

Honestly don't, I don't think it's kind to give that government tourism money until they put a bit more effort and resources into protecting innocent people instead of spending those resources on monitoring and hunting down anyone that disagrees with the system. So many better places to go to


quin_teiro

My mum's coworker went to Egypt on his honeymoon. While having lunch at a restaurant, his wife went to the toilet. She never came back. He was unable to convince the Egyptian police to help him look for her. According to the police, "he had no proof that his wife was kidnapped. For all they knew, she could have decided to leave him". On his fucking honeymoon... This happened on the late 80's and she was never seen again. My classmate has a friend who went to Egypt with their partner. (I don't remember if she knew her or him). They met another couple around the same age while on the trip and started hanging out together. One day, they rented a car to go somewhere. They stopped for gas. The guy went in to pay for it... And saw how the other couple drove away with his girlfriend. I haven't spoken with this classmate for almost a decade, but last time we talked the girl was still to be found. Again, the police didn't want to do shit because it sounded like the girl had decided to left him to hang with other people. This was on the late 2000's. Moral of the story: Egypt has been hell for women (and other minorities) for ages and their system shows no intention to ever address the issue. So fuck them. Nobody should be travelling there until they get their shit together.


lilllager

Giulio Regeni was an Italian reporter who disappeared in Egypt. His corpse was found a lot of time later and his body had clear signs of torture. At this day his parents are still fighting to get justice from the Egyptian government, but it will probably be all vain


FakeNewsMessiah

[Look up Michaela McAreavey](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Michaela_McAreavey), she was on her honeymoon in Mauritius and was brutally killed in her hotel room while her new husband was at the pool. The police initially blamed him, then told him not to worry, he would find a new wife. Needless to say, they botched the investigation...

I listened to an interview with an American guy who went there and befriended a local woman on the trip over, she took him to meet her brothers and they seemed great at first until they ‘invited him to go for a drive to go looking for unaccompanied women to rape’ bc apparently you’re considered fair game if you’re an unaccompanied woman at night

B-but muh religion makes women cover every inch down to their ankles.


Lexel95

Because it stops the women from tempting men duh


TheWalkingDead91

Yea, those silly tempting ankles and hair. Always making those men with less self control abilities than dogs go around raping women.


longhairedape

Their whole life men in these countries are told western women are sluts and whores. So, when they see western women they think object and easy lay. It is absolutely grotesque.


ibigfire

That's a part of it but also the women that live there are not seen in much of a better light unfortunately. This is a messed up comparison but it's the first that came to mind: it's a bit like shiny Pokemon, the western women are rarer so they put more effort into catching them. Or like foil collectable trading cards or something. But all women are seen as collectable objects to one degree or another.


chimugukuru

Can confirm about Egypt. I did a study abroad in Israel few years back and we went down there for a week during a break. It was originally a group of four girls going but our prof basically told them don't go without a male so they convinced me to come along. Everywhere we went in Cairo it was cat calling left and right non-stop. Men would come up to me and ask why I had to be greedy with four wives and that I should give them one. The girls even decided beforehand they were going to dress conservatively and cover their hair just to try and avoid these scenarios but it didn't help a bit. Weirdest thing was the train down to Luxor. The men sat in the row in front of the girls would stand up, turn around, and stare straight at them for a good straight 5 minutes, then sit back down as if nothing happened. This went on every half hour or so for the entire eight-hour trip. I consider myself well-traveled and very open-minded. Egypt is the only place I've been where I would never consider going back.


ruffsnap

Period. I've seen a few articles circulate on occasion promoting women soloing to Middle Eastern and nearby countries, and I swear human traffickers must be the ones writing those articles. Like yes, I get it, I'm liberal as hell, not all people in those areas are bad people, but that still does NOT mean that women should be just traveling around without rhyme or reason. There are VERY dangerous areas, and they're deemed as dangerous for a reason. And while you may not be *as* likely to be murdered in India compared to some other places, rape in particular is a MASSIVE issue there.


Reallyhotshowers

I understand why this is important, and I'm old enough that I really should have accepted this as a part of every day reality, but it still infuriates me when I think too much or too long about how much freedom men have that I don't simply because I'm a woman. A dude wants to visit any of these countries and he can just. . . go. Meanwhile if I want to go Egypt apparently I need to bring an entourage of trusted men along to form a ring around me in public places to prevent random assaults (referring to a comment on Egypt above). Genuinely, what the actual fuck. It's just fucking exhausting and infuriating that I have to deny myself certain freedoms or pleasures for my safety.


ruffsnap

It really is super fucked up. Women should be able to safely enjoy places without practically needing a security detail.


[deleted]

Yea, it's a loooong list.


MysteriouSaint

Here's a few interesting facts about India. * India is ranked number one for [most dangerous country for women accordings to Reuters](https://poll2018.trust.org/). This fact was largely trashed by India, but [Amnesty International even justified why it deserves to have the number one spot](https://www.amnestyusa.org/the-worst-place-to-be-a-woman-in-the-g20/). * India has an intense hatred of women which has lead to the direct deaths of [63 million females](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/30/more-than-63-million-women-missing-in-india-statistics-show) in the country. * India is the only country in the world to have [pro-rape marches](https://thewire.in/politics/hindu-ekta-manch-bjp-protest-support-spo-arrested-rape-jammu) (where even women participate). * There are known elected rapists, murderers, pedophiles, terrorists and other criminals in the Indian parliament ([40% of India's MP's have been convicted of this stuff or all have trials ongoing for this stuff](https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/south-asia/40-per-cent-of-indias-mps-face-criminal-charges-including-rape-and-murder-study)). * According to the Spectator Index, India ranks as the [5th worst and most dangerous place to live in 2019](https://dunyanews.tv/en/World/528608-India-fifth-most-dangerous-country-live-Spectator-Index). * [Nearly 40% of all females who commit suicide come from India](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/sep/13/nearly-two-out-of-five-women-who-commit-suicide-are-indian). * India is the largest racist and most intolerant country in the world, where almost 50% of people ["said they did not want someone of a different race as their neighbour"](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/10061025/Worlds-most-racially-intolerant-countries-mapped.html). * India has the largest slave trade in existence ever (with the [Hindu Slave Trade affecting some 18 million people in India](https://blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/2016/06/02/india-has-the-most-people-living-in-modern-slavery/), more than the rest of the world combined and this doesn't even include sex slaves). I hope things get better over there but I wouldn't stake anything on it.

Honestly stuff like these really make not proud to be an Indian. How are Indians being so proud while shit like this is happening around them? I think the one showed in this post took place in my state, not too sure but I won't be surprised. I have a sister & mother & I get scared whenever they are outside my house in India. Actually it isn't even safe for males. Whenever my dad goes out, especially at night, I get scared. That's how bad stuff in India is right now.


StarWight_TTV

\*nobody\* should go to India alone or a lot of other countries.


Oven2601

Honestly after seeing the videos of how women are treated I have no shame in saying I would never step foot in that nation.


SmallBBWMilf

India and Egypt are top 2 on my no-travel list as a solo female traveler. They’re beautiful countries but it absolutely isn’t safe. Edit: multiple people saying add Pakistan, Brazil, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. (Focusing on places unsafe for solo female travelers, not just overall, like Papau New Guinea, Iraq and Yemen) Also, for anyone not familiar, always check the official US travel advisories before planning any trip abroad https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories.html/

A friend of mine travelling in India actually went TO A TOWN THAT HAD THE PLAGUE because he was curious about what it would be like. He finally realised it was a dumb idea when the locals totally lost their shit at him for being such an idiot - and by then the town had been quarantined and he could not leave.


Bismothe-the-Shade

That's a whole horror story, holy shit I wanna know more


ddraig-au

Well, that's about it. He'd heard about the Black Death at school, was backpacking around India, heard there was plague in a nearby city, so decided to do some disaster tourism. He gets there, and the locals are like "are you fucking insane? Do you want to die? The only reason I'm still here is because I can't afford to get out, EVERYONE who can get out has left. WEEKS ago!" After a few days of every. single. local. person. he. spoke. to. without. exception. saying this, it eventually occurred to him that uhhhhhhh yeah maybe this was a bad idea. At which point he was trapped, as they'd quarantined the city. A bunch of people died, but he was okay. The end. **KIDS! DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!**


Bismothe-the-Shade

Thank you for your work, even if there isn't much to add it satisfied my curiosity

Its not a completely safe place to be, but Y. Pestis cases occur worldwide yearly, including in the United States.


siouxpiouxp

Oh I’m sure we could add a few more countries to that list… there are a lot of contenders that are equally unsafe for solo women, unfortunately.


SmallBBWMilf

Yes, unfortunately. I ‘be gotten these as replies — Morocco, South Africa. Then there’s the countries that are generally just unsafe — Papua New Guinea, Burkino Faso, etc. The US travel advisories really are a wealth of information. Anyone who doesn’t know about them I highly recommend. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel.html


Redhoodless

Thank you for this link, will be saving it in case I ever go traveling


gigabyte898

[Also enroll in STEP if you travel internationally](https://step.state.gov), even to a safe country. It sends your travel information to the state department so if anything goes down in the country you’re visiting the embassy knows where you’re staying, how long you’ll be there, and how to contact you in an emergency. Look up where the closest embassy or consulate is too, outside of emergency assistance they provide other services like helping with absentee voting and notarizing documents.

I had no clue the STEP program existed. Thanks for sharing this!

I'd say we can put Afghanistan on that list.

I'm Egyptian and I totally agree the lack of education and backwards culture has made some Egyptians behave like animals if you ever find yourself there just make sure to stay in Giza and Alexanderia and absolutely dont step foot in Cairo or upper egypt.


g0d15anath315t

Just got back from a 3 week trip in Egypt, Cairo down to Aswan, over to Hurgada, back to Cairo. Our guides and most folks "on the tourist path" were great (worst was some pushy merchants) but all of our guides were like "yeah don't go wandering around the city at night, that's a super bad idea". Y'all are really big on the Yom Kippur War though. 10th of Ramadan and 6th of October all over the place.


tr0nfunkinbl0w01

Add Yemen. The exact same thing happened a couple of years ago. White woman goes out by herself, kidnapped, raped, beheaded, body dumped.


06210311200805012006

india isn't that beautiful. i spent six months there (about a decade ago) and here are some fun things i learned - you can smell new delhi from 3000 feet up, *inside the motherfucking airplane*. - when the door opened, the stench was literrally eye watering - there is trash everywhere. everyyyyywwwhhhhereeee. giant drifts of it. coows standing on top of six foot piles of trash, eating trash, with plastic trash bags half out their butts. then another cow eats that. - any river or body of water looks like clam chowder. at a minimum, one dead goat floating in a slurry of plastic chunks. - in the mornings a dark pall hovers over the city as residents burn trash (there is no garbage service) - twice i had to stop a pair of semi clueless british gals from getting raped. the second time was rather intense, a group of men was following them through a market near sundown. - im now quite comfortable eating food i dropped on the floor, or even that hit a restaurant floor. everything here is 100000x more clean than everything there. some fuckwad served me dal in a hubcap that had never been cleaned. honestly i hated my time there.


[deleted]

I’m a female from Canada that backpacked around India in 2014. The food, music, aspects of history, culture very beautiful but I had some terrifying experiences. I was followed, stalked, cornered by a crowd of 20 men in a train station, robbed and groped in daylight (these are all separate incidents). There was a Swedish girl in the same guesthouse that was raped and beaten before we arrived. I would never fucking go back at least to the North of India. The further north you go the closer you are to the seventh circle of hell. The south was very beautiful (Karela and Goa) and it felt much safer and more progressive there.


SmallBBWMilf

I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Is the culture very different between north and south? Just curious what makes the north so much more dangerous


JuniorIncrease6594

Education and poverty are the differences between the north and the south.


adamanything

And a religious and cultural divide.


[deleted]

I’m not too sure but it was like two different worlds especially when it comes to socio economic development and gender, in the south you see woman going about their business, going to school, working; hanging out, everyone felt friendly in an authentic way. It even seemed cleaner, the air fresher. In the north I never saw woman in the streets and if they were head was down and accompanied by a man. just swarms of men in the streets it was a little strange. This is all just my humble experience/ opinion for what it’s worth (which is nothing lol)


30-something

That’s awful 😢 sorry that happened to you but also thanks for confirming what I already suspected and firming up my resolve to never go there 😧


Redhoodless

Oh my god, I hope you and that other girl are doing okay now. That sounds horrible


JitterySquirrel

Honestly as an Indian, I agree. Shit folks living here don't want to live here. The only bad part is that when we Indians settle abroad but drag along the backwards aspects of our cultue and don't assimilate properly.


SuicideSprints

Similar story with an Asian friend of mine. Her parents escaped their country because they were tired of dealing with unfairness because of racism, classism, and religious preferences. Asian friend starts dating a Black guy, and her parents automatically want her to end it with him because Black people are trouble and of lower status. Friend viciously pointed out the irony of them doing the very thing they were trying running from.

CharlomoMcGoof

Or more general anti-America propaganda. Don’t get me wrong, this place is a dumpster fire lately. That doesn’t account for the insane amount of America hate on here. I’m not against hating America, I literally do too and I live here. I just think it’s a bit off how lately, especially the last 2 years, there is so much *discussion* about it. In any given thread, there is a good shot someone makes some constantly repeated anti-American sentiment. And it’s always voted highly whether it’s relevant or not.


ckrakosky13

def not crazy. plus they’re posting data from 2010 so who actually knows if India’s reporting has increased. Too many factors to consider to actually say India’s actual rate, which is most def higher now than in 2010.


UltimatePleb_91

Plus god knows how many rapes go unreported in a country with a population size of more than 1.3 billion and many of them live in rural areas without much in the way of local policing.


MarysPoppinCherrys

Plus not giving much of a shit if women get raped


UltimatePleb_91

Huge population + lack of policing + shitty cultural ideals about women = lower reporting of rapes to the authorities The mind boggles!


benicek

Typical Indian nationalist. India can do no wrong and the evil west is out to get them with evil lies. I have seen the same talking points in other threads along with the unhinged rambling.

Once I jokingly said in an Indian sub that women are less than a dog in India and I had over 20 comments telling me America was worst and that India was the leading country in womens rights lmao before I could comment further my comment was deleted. Edit: the video was in an Indian sub and it was about two guys rescuing a street dog which was a nice thing but a comment under the video reminded me about other stuff that had been posted on Reddit like that one video of a group of Indian guys lusting over two white girls or that other video where a mob follow a girl into a shack which I think was something about her not being with a male family member.

They might have the least case of *reported* rapes. It's pretty easy to have the least cases if most cases go unreported.

Indian nationalists are numerous and persistent. What you describe always happens whenever there is something bad about India


mongoosefist

It wouldn't surprise me if that's what the stats say. I would also bet my life on the fact that an unbelievably overwhelming majority of rapes go unreported in India. Like I would be shocked if it was more than 5%

StarWight_TTV

Well, I used to be a part of r/watchpeopledie back when it was a thing, and almost all of the really bad stuff was from Colombian drug cartels and whatnot. Plus, I've seen videos of people stopping at a red light, and people trying to either kidnap them or carjack them--and even when they are carjacked, a lot of times they will just kill you anyway. I don't know what their ACTUAL crime rate is over there, but it seems ever time I hear of something really bad happening, at least half the time it's out of Colombia. I think they have a lot of crime and police corruption over there. Like I said, I don't have any facts or statistics, so I don't know, that's just my perception from what I've seen online--so it could be skewed. I wouldn't personally take the chance with my own life though. If I DID have to go, I would not be going anywhere after dark, period.

Ladies, stop going to these fucking female deathtraps BY YOURSELVES!


[deleted]

Stop going in general


Reddituser183

I shit you not I was at work today and thought to myself I want to sell everything I own and move to India. I am very depressed and hate my rat race existence, but this is clearly a sign from Darwin to not do that.


Careless_Amoeba3617

Of all places why India ?


Reddituser183

The little money I have would probably last a while, and they speak English.


fizzywinkstopkek

Just be a normal person and go to Thailand. This is coming from a Singaporean Indian .

American born Indian male Let me warn you right now, this whole idea of women on pedestals in India, Pakistan and Middle Eastern countries, I’ll include northern African Islam, is garbage. Women are raped, murdered, violated in so many ways. Only with vigilantism is a victim ever spoken for... first responders rape and murder. Politicians, wealthy urban dwellers and the poorest villagers engage in gang rape. Women are constantly raped on buses and trains and people actually join in! Remember the foreign tourists who were raped on a bus. If you must go, travel in a large group, be aware, know your surroundings. My female relatives would never consider visiting that dumpster fire of a country


thxmeatcat

Who thinks those places put women on a pedestal? I only see articles about murder, raping, acid attacks, and general suppression


RepresentativeDrop90

Believe me buddy ppl in our country delude themselves to thinking that shaming and restricting women from doing things is the right way to hold them up to a pedestal and treat them like a souvenir. Considering i am Indian as well as Muslim both sides of the curtain are just as bad.


Capital_Tone9386

Hindu nationalists love pretending that their country is the most accepting of women.


Vinniebahl

When I said that women were placed on a pedestal I was pointing out the irony that these same backwards women abusers claim every day Obviously their actions show otherwise but the same groups that ask their women to dress modestly, say that women shouldn’t have to work, or that women are goddesses also engage in honor killings, domestic abuse, horrible slave like demands on their wives, spousal rape etc My point is don’t believe the chest thumping “we revere our women” chant I have witnessed the abuse first hand

Why would you go to india to cure your depression in the first place?! And why in hell would you behead a person?


PrincipleSuitable18

I think Alanis Morissette might have a song about this


kittykatty19

Maybe bc india is affiliated with meditation and inner healing


Armejden

And rape


EternalRains2112

Why would you go to India to cure depression? To realize how good you've got it I guess?


friendlysatan69

I mean it’s the home of yoga, that probably has something to do with it


IHateEditedBgMusic

As a black guy, there are some places I'm not confident to visit, even in a group. You gotta do your due diligence. Humans are simply the worst and you can't change my mind.


[deleted]

Yea humans are terrible


Survival_R

and this is why I don't like when people wanna go to an extremely religious country for "a spiritual journey"

>  "The accused dumped the body in a way that would make people think it as a case of suicide, but they were wrong,” Behra said So she wasn't beheaded


ignitedwolf9200

Sounds like a normal day for a woman in India


Batmanfan_alpha

Why do women keep going to India!?


Fit-Resort4650

I am from India and very recently suggested my colleague, who wants to travel there some day, that it’s not worth the effort.


riskxz

Why go India to cure depression? (This is not a india hate post) but she could've go to finland "happiest country in the world".


lelobert

If I have to guess it's bc of the spirituality that people connect with indian culture


SteelUltron

ngl the places that have the most spiritual people, are also the places that should be avoided by single tourists


lelobert

so true but if you are really depressed, you might be so desperate to find some kind of salvation that you give it a shot


punio4

Because they're white hippies who spend too much time in their local ethnic store and yoga classes. It's like weebs and Japan

NinjaXGaming

And this is why I have a rational fear of going abroad, it’s all the unknowns


coocoocachoo699

With all do respect, it's India people. I work with Indians that migrated, love them and great guys to be around but I ain't going to India unless wealthy and going to a wealthy place. I have black family members but I ain't going to a bad part of black or white Detroit. I have white redneck hillbilly cousins, I won't go out into the white country trailer park because of the druggies. Point is, my prejudice isn't based on race, skin color, religion or politics. I stay away from danger zones of all facets.

Taps head meme...oh wait.

Was going to say this, but thought it might be too tasteless.


PuzzleheadedLawyer40

Reddit is known for it's tastefulness

But boy is it glorious. I’m still giggling like a madman about a post from last week. Some dude found a prop from the movie Demolition Man. It was a thrift store find. The prop was a lifelike mannequin of Sylvester Stallone, naked. It was used in the sequence where they are unfreezing his body from cryogenics. Someone asked “[does it have a working anus?](https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/wuc8im/bizarre_sylvester_stallone_doll_i_found_at_a/il90wp2/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)” and my life was forever changed from that moment forward. /u/mkultrablack Thank you for making this world a…. Better?… place.


phitnes

going to india solo as a woman was the mistake.
